We have a strong commitment to open and effective communication channels.
Communication to Parents/Community
Newsletter
A weekly e-newsletter, written by the Principal, is emailed to all parents and is available on our school’s website.
Written Communication
Letters mailed home or hand-delivered via children are usually concerning specific family information. It is helpful for parents if they know the letter is coming home via a text or prior email.
Phone Communication
The telephone system operates between 8:00am and 4:00pm. Voice messages can be left and will be checked after 8:00am.
Messages to teachers will be taken by the Administrative Officer who will pass them on to the person concerned.
Teachers are not interrupted during teaching periods, unless the matter is considered urgent.
Teachers may phone parents from school phones, in regard to concerns about students.
Verbal Communication
Admin/teachers can personally discuss any concerns parents may have, by appointment.
If a matter is urgent, times may be made available without appointment.
Email - Class News
Classroom teachers are to email a class newsletter (email or class newsletter attachment) at the start of each term to parents, and CC the Principal into the email. Topics for the class email will include:
KLA unit learnings, other class learnings (spelling, reading, times tables), homework reminders, school activity reminders (dates, due dates…).
